Is there anything against someone putting their monster point allowance on the character they are playing on a day after the dungeon instead of before it? For example, to stop them going over threshold for the dungeon

I’ve got a question regarding MC’ing into the Warrior Bracket and how that interacts with Life Capping.

I’m a Drowe Wizard (Base 29/9 – Life Cap Pre T8 – 44 TBLP) and my mana just isn’t going far enough. I don’t want to get properly stuck in, but I still want to call quad. I decide to MC Archer to Lvl 6 (600 pts) which now puts me in 33/11. I’ve picked up some guild life along the way and I want to start making use of my new warrior subclass buy as to get some stamina +6/2, +12/4 but I’m going to breach my life cap very quickly.

My question is, as I’m now a Warrior Subclass do I use the ‘Warrior subclasses whose base life at 8th level is less than 51…’ calculation. I am a warrior subclass, but I’m only a Lvl 6 Warrior Subclass and if I were to take it to 8th my base life would still be less than 51.

If not, what life-cap should I be using?

You should use Drowe Archer at 6th life.I have re-read it and its not clear. The intent is for 1st Class Warrior subclasses to be able to buy 24/8 and have some life.So the "use 51 TBLP" bit is meant only for people that start as warrior subclasses.

Looking at ‘Darkbane’s Body Building Classes’ table 10 of warrior book. The Wizard/Warlock MC I wrote states ‘No gain’ for the life column as I saw no point in adding in life as it would be below warrior life. Can I assume it would give 2/1 as extra levels of life thus allow me to buy the above ability to gain 5/2 per level of life?

Thank you (I hope!)

This isn't the place for non-standard questions, but no. If you didn't get a life scale then ELOL's don't give you anything.However you could buy Darkbane's and then since you can buy ELOL's (even at 0/0) buy them at 5/2.

Could you walk me through how a Paladin can buy Holy Words, as the text to me seems contradictory.

QUOTE

These abilities are [un] Holy Words. Immunity to Holy / Unholy Words applies.• In order to learn these Holy words it is necessary for the practitioner must have purchased post 8th (base stairways do NOT count) at least one innate of all miracles on the base tree of the relevant sphere.• When buying these abilities a specific word is assigned to the ability — that becomes the [un] Holy word.• Thus a Paladin with major sphere Healing could learn their holy word as the following on their character card. Holy Word — Healing — "LIFE!"• All of these words must be shouted to have any affect. They all cost 75pts each to learn, and can be learntat most 1/3 tables post 8th. E.g. 2nd on T6, a 3rd on t9 and 4th on T12. This is the cap even if buying fromwords from different spheres.• In addition, no same Un / Holy word may be used within 15 minutes of each other by the same shouter.

The contradiction is between these two

a.) In order to learn these Holy words it is necessary for the practitioner must have purchased post 8th (base stairways do NOT count) at least one innate of all miracles on the base tree of the relevant sphere.

and

b.) Thus a Paladin with major sphere Healing could learn their holy word as the following on their character card. Holy Word — Healing — "LIFE!"

The only related ability that would allow a Paladin to be a 'Major Sphere' anything (aside from MC Priest to 6th and paying 40pts) is the below

QUOTE

Spiritual Aptitude "Sphere"Available to: 1st Class Paladin, 1st Class Grey Knight, 1st Class Unholy Champion Cost: 40The character must have purchased at least 2 innates of every miracle on the chosen tree. They may now buy the priests table 6 and table 8 sphere specific abilities (See Words from Above for specific details) such as Reaching Force, Hopes Shield, or Depraved Cunning.This may not be purchased for the characters "secondary sphere" if they should have one.If the character later enters the priest bracket then this counts as their first major sphere.

This however still requires the Paladin to 'later enter the priest bracket' to actually obtain the 'major sphere'

Nightsoil Immune to Flesh & Blood, an I correct in assuming this includes Potions and Poisons?

BBB

The clue is in the wording:

They are Immune to beneficial F&B effects. They may purchase ½ effect dis-beneficial F&B for 40 points on Table 3, and may purchase full immunity to F & B (as Angel of War) for an additional 60 points on Table 8.

So yes
